Jack Frost was swarmed by Baby Teeth when he and Bunny arrived at the Fairy Palace. He began to sweat from the overwhelming rush of tiny hugs and cries. Jack looked pleadingly at Bunnymund for help, but the Pooka simply shrugged his shoulders and mouthed an apology before walking away.

Bunnymund was eager to search the palace for anything suspicious. He didn't have time to comfort the distressed fairies. Bunny sniffed the air, his ears twitched in every direction, and his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding area for any evidence. Nothing unusual, yet.

"Have you found a clue?" Jack asked as he walked up to Bunny.

"All I smell is sadness and tears," Bunny said as he stared at all the fairies crowded on Jack's shoulders, arms, and head.

"You can smell sadness and tears?" Jack asked in doubt and raised an eyebrow.

"One day I'll teach you how ta smell emotions with your human nose," Bunny said as he walked around the palace. Jack's eyes went bug-eyed. He had a spark of curiosity that made him look like a cat with a fish bowl.

"Really!?" Jack's voice was filled with excitement. "That's so cool! When are you going to teach me!? Can I have my first lesson now!?"

"Shh!"

Jack's lips shut tight and he stared at Bunny who held his finger to his lips. Bunny's ears twitched at the sound of a clanging footsteps. They looked to the north and found two giant men walking towards them.

The two giants looked to be made of solid gold and they carried golden weapons, a mace and a club. Jack's jaw dropped at the sight. Bunny's eyes went wide with surprise. He had wanted a clue and he got it.

"Jack, Baby Teeth, get ready for anything," Bunny warned in a low voice. Jack responded with a nod and the Baby Teeth followed his lead.

The giants walked the long distance from the other side of the palace to a few feet close to the guardians. They looked like giant trolls with malicious grins. The bigger one, standing at 10'', with the club spoke first in a loud raspy voice.

"E Aster Bunnymund, you have something we want."

"Who's we," asked Bunny, reaching for his boomerangs.

"WE are the giants that have what you want and if you want her back, you'll have to make a trade."

Bunny knew in an instant that these giants had something to do with Tooth's disappearance. The Pooka was prepared to persuade the giants into telling more, but a flash of cold blue ruined his plans.

Jack was enraged. These jerk giants kidnapped Toothiana and wanted to trade her off like she was an object. The teenager held his staff firmly and aimed for another blast at the shorter giant. The troll cried out and swung his weapon.

Everything moved fast. The giants went from swinging their weapons to running from Bunny's egg bombs, to chasing the Baby Teeth and the tooth fairies fighting back in strong numbers, and even Jack was being a difficult opponent.

The mace troll swung his beefy gold arms at the winter spirit. Jack used the wind to carry him and he dodged every strike to his face. A loud growl vibrated in the monster's throat as he swung his weapon, tearing at Jack's blue hoodie.

"My clothes!" Cried Jack. "Now I'm going to finish this!" Jack yelled with a smug grin.

The troll didn't believe Jack and charged at him. He was planning on finishing the cocky kid. Jack put all his energy in his staff. Cold winds rushed around him, messing up his snowy hair. The troll didn't get close enough to Jack before it was blasted 100 feet backwards.

The troll giant with the mace glared at his partner, now frozen solid on the floor. He turned his attention to Bunnymund and scolded. Bunny returned with a smug smirk showing his pride for Jack.

"Jack!?"

"Yeah, Bunny!?"

"Do something for me," Bunny said as he looked at the troll with a meaningful face.

Jack grinned and knew what Bunny wanted by looking at his face. The giant troll was about to run, but he was surrounded by tooth fairies. He grunted when Jack's magic froze him from the neck down.

"Ok ya bloody Ratbag, what did ya do with the Tooth Fairy?" Bunny asked as he glared up at the giant.

Jack watched Bunny sniff at the giant's face. He blushed at the cute sight of Bunny's pink nose twitching, but when Bunny wrinkled his nose Jack's eyebrows furrowed in question. The winter fairy took a few sniffs at the troll unsure of what he was looking for.

"What do you smell, Bunny?" Jack asked with intrigue.

"Fear."

. . .

Nicholas St. North laughed loudly after Jack gave him the quick status. North was so amused to hear the teenager's exciting battle with the trolls. He rumbled with good mirth. Bunny didn't find anything amusing and he let North know by giving him a hard look.

"I will have Phil and my agents interrogate the giant troll men," North said after clearing his throat. He patted Jack on his back giving the young man an approving smile.

"Get what ya can outta 'em, mate," Bunny told the Russian man.

"I wanna help!" Shouted Jack. He wasn't through with the fairy-napping trolls.

"No," North said, "You and Bunny have done enough. Now leave the rest to us. The both of you should go to the Warren and rest. Tomorrow I will have answers."

Bunnymund agreed with North. Jack hesitantly complied and watched with a pout as the trolls were taken back to Santa's workshop for questioning. He took a walk around the palace as the tooth fairies decided to continue their work. He watched them carry on with worried expressions on their beautiful faces.

Bunny wandered around Toothiana's room. He saw her globe and walked up to it. Half of the lights lost had returned now that the tooth fairies had more confidence. It seems like capturing those two trolls has brought some ease to the humming bird-like fairies.

Jack entered Tooth's bedroom and smiled at the beautiful décor. The room was bright and popped with vibrant colors. Jack thought the room had a girly touch to it.

"She sure is a colorful lady," Jack said softly.

Bunny's ear twitched and he turned slowly to look at Jack. He could smell Tooth's scent all over the room. He could also pick up a sense of sweet joyful feelings that would describe Tooth.

"Close your eyes, mate," Bunny said softly, "and a take a slow breath through your nose. As if you were smelling a flower."

Jack did as he was told. He started to feel a warmth wash over him. He began to feel a happy sensation tingle in his toes. Bunny watched Jack's cold blue lips pull into a smile.

"Now breath out softly, as if you were blowing out a candle," Bunny whispered in Jack's ear.

The young man opened his eyes in surprise at how close Bunny had gotten. He let out a shaky breath. Bunnymund smiled and kissed Jack's neck. He then slipped his paw through the torn hole in Jack's hoodie. The winter spirit writhed underneath Bunny's soft touch. He let out a soft whimper and bit his bottom lip.

"We should go home," Bunny whispered in a husky voice against Jack's ear.

Jack nodded his head and smiled brightly. He believed in North and trusted the big man to take care of the situation for a bit. The teenager really wanted to go to bed with his boyfriend in his arms.

. . .

"Where is this place!?" Tooth asked in awe when the fog cleared.

She was still in the giant golden bird cage as she stared out across an incredible city made of gold. She had never seen so much gold before in her life and it was mind boggling. Her violet eyes searched around for any signs of life, but found no movement. Then a voice spoke behind her.

"This was once a rich city in the clouds."

Tooth whipped her head quickly to her side and found a beautiful troll giant approach the cage. The troll woman had a crazy smile on her face as she stretched her hand out to the cage. Toothiana watched the troll's hand with unease. The troll gave the cage a harsh shove and watched with dark amusement as Tooth was forced to swing side to side.

"Let me out of this cage!" Demanded Tootiana.

"Ha ha ha!" Laughed the troll in response. "I will let you out when your rabbit friend returns what is rightfully mine!"

The troll woman left the cage alone leaving Tooth to slowly swing by herself. She pondered what it was that Bunny could have taken from the trolls. She bristled her feathers when a cold chill blew past, reminding her of Jack.

"Oh Jack," Tooth said, "I bet you are all worried for me. I promise I'll get out of here and get some answers. You can count on me!"
